Yes, the Glocknerkönig takes place in all weather conditions – even with snowfall on the mountain. The exception is if the road is closed by the operator for safety reasons.

Weather information will be provided in the start area via the loudspeaker system. Participants can then decide for themselves whether they want to participate. Refunds of the participation fee are not possible. Weather forecasts are provided by online weather services days in advance. In recent years, it has been found that such general weather services often provided superficial or even incorrect information. Please rely solely on this website for weather updates. The forecast will be made both by local weather services and experienced locals familiar with mountain conditions. A reliable forecast for the high mountains will only be available on the Saturday before the race.

E-bikes are not allowed at the Glocknerkönig.
There will be checks at the start and finish areas as well as during the race.
Participants with an e-bike will be immediately disqualified and removed from the race.
The entry fee will not be refunded.

The route of the Glocknerkönig passes right through the Hohe Tauern National Park.

At the latest, when you experience the breathtaking view during the climb to Großglockner, it should be clear to everyone:
The environment must be protected in order to continue enjoying its beauty.

Environmental protection is very important to us, which is why we have implemented the following actions:

• Merchandise shirts made of organic cotton

• Cups at the aid stations made from cornstarch

• Kaiserschmarrn plates are sustainable as they are made from renewable resources and are compostable

• Kaiserschmarrn forks made from FSC® certified wood, biodegradable and compostable

• We pay attention to waste separation

• At least 50% of the clothing bags are made from biodegradable material

• Printed materials are produced locally

• Single-use timing chips

Yes, during race office hours on Saturday, an expo will take place from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in front of the race office. Many exhibitors will offer Glocknerkönig specials, and we will also be present with our merchandise stand.

You are welcome to pick up the race packet for a friend.

Please bring a copy of their ID with you.

The nearest ATM is located at the Sparkasse (Glocknerstrasse 22), across from the race office on Saturday. On Sunday, the nearest ATM is at the Raiffeisenbank (Glocknerstraße 6 at the village square), also across from the race office.

It's best to pack dry and warm spare clothes in your clothing bag, as well as a backpack (to transport your race gear down to the valley).

Even in good weather, remember to bring a windbreaker, hat, and gloves, as cold temperatures can be expected in the high mountains (especially during the descent).

Please do not put valuables in the clothing bags. The organizer is not liable for the contents.

How does the disposable timing chip work?

This year, we are using a disposable transponder for timing once again. It is integrated into a saddle number. The disposable chip has many advantages for the participant:

• You can keep the number, including the timing chip, as a souvenir.

• You don’t need to return the chip.

• You save the fee for the chip rental and deposit.

• The transponder is equipped with the latest technology.

• The disposable chips are more environmentally friendly.

In terms of environmental protection, we have made an important step with the new disposable transponders:

• Significantly less plastic, metal, and electronics are used in the transponders. While the active transponder can be reused multiple times, it must still be disposed of and replaced after a few years.

• Unlike the active transponders, the disposable transponders don’t require batteries.

• ThinTags (extra-thin disposable transponders) are 75% thinner than regular tags. This leads to less waste and smaller shipping volume, positively impacting CO2 emissions during production and transport.

• Significantly lower weight and volume compared to active transponders, reducing CO2 emissions during transport.

• CO2-neutral production.

The tickets for the spectator bus are available on Saturday during the race office hours (10:00 AM to 6:00 PM) at the merchandise tent.
Please note, the tickets are limited to 244 pieces.
If there are remaining seats available, they can be purchased directly on the bus on Sunday.

Prices: This year's prices will be published soon.

You are welcome to drive your private car to the finish area before the roadblock to properly welcome the motivated athletes. The road will be closed from 7:00 AM to 10:30 AM, from the Ferleiten toll booth to the Edelweißspitze.
